Giant of the Western Trail: Father Peter De Smet by Michael McHugh is a biography of the famous Jesuit missionary who spent his life working with Native American tribes in the western United States during the 19th century. The book details De Smet's early life in Belgium, his decision to become a priest, and his journey to North America where he began his work with the Native American tribes. McHugh explores De Smet's relationships with various tribes, including the Blackfeet, Flatheads, and Nez Perce, and his efforts to establish peace between them and the United States government. The book also delves into De Smet's advocacy for Native American rights and his efforts to preserve their culture and traditions. Through extensive research and interviews with experts, McHugh paints a vivid picture of Father De Smet's life and legacy, highlighting his contributions to both the Catholic Church and Native American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
